Today my brother, grandma and I went to the northwest
reptile expo in Renton!
There was so much going on! People selling things; people
buying things, raffles, shows, and so much more. I had a lot of fun, and I
really enjoyed the experience. Not all of the animals being sold were reptiles;
there were things like rodents and insects (as food for the animals),
amphibians, arachnids, and even a few kittens! Here is a small peek at what was
being sold:
Habitats, AKA terrariums:
Snakes of course!
 |
| Isn't this a beauty? I think it is a burmese python. |
 |
| I wanted each and every one of these snakes. |
And lizards:
 |
| That's a lot of lizards! |
 |
| A beautiful blue lizard. I forget the name... |
There were lots of tortoises and some tiny, tiny turtles:
 |
| These guys are so small that they are in betta tank! |
There were lots of bugs, such as mealworms, crickets,
cockroaches, and whiteworms:
And some arachnids, like tarantulas and scorpions:
 |
| I like spiders, even though I am afraid of them. |
 |
| Jasper wanted to buy this one, but we knew mom would not approve. |
As well as mice:
There were also some juvenile Betta fish, which surprised
me:
And Bengal kittens, which surprised me even more!
The animals that I happened want most were an adorable baby
corn snake:
Bearded dragons:
 |
| Babies... |
 |
| And adults. |
Axolotls, which are aquatic salamanders:
 |
| These ones are babies. I have wanted some for ages now... |
And this baby crown tail Betta:
I settled for the Betta, as it is the only one of these
animals that I actually have the proper tank for. Since Tesla passed away, his
old tank and heater have been sitting around, unused. I'm sure if Tesla were
still around, he'd approve. :)
Here's a better shot of the little guy, fondly named Spud.
He is my first baby Betta.
I want to thank my grandmother, firstly for buying Spud, and
secondly, for taking Jasper and I to the expo even though she is terrified of
snakes.
Have a great day everyone!
